Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

United Launch Alliance (ULA) ran into some delays necessitating a switch from ULA Vulcan to SpaceX Falcon 9.
This launch is in keeping with the mission to upgrade to GPS III technology, which can handle more traffic & less vulnerable to jamming, among other improvements.
Space Force reassigns GPS satellite launch from ULA to SpaceX

Back in the days of textbooks, there was a story of something called the efficient market theory. It claimed that in capitalism, markets work best when all participants have access to the same information. Today, this story is ascribed to rantings of pocket calculator-wielding Greenspan acolytes.

Musk is claiming, without evidence, that the Wisconsin election was “stolen.”

Powerful clip. IMO, the most productive thing the free nations of the world can do at this point is to be proactive about forming the rules of engagement that will be required to participate in the global economy. God willing, we'll be able to rejoin that economy someday.
Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

The US Constitution gives Congress the sole power to impose tariffs.

Trump is using the National Emergencies Act (and the IEEPA) to bypass Congress to levy tariffs.

All Congress has to do is pass a bill denying this explicit emergency power to levy tariffs to Trump and all of this goes away.

This may be one of the tidiest summations I've seen of the state of mind of the typical Trump acolyte. We're driving national policy on hopes and prayers.
BARTIROMO: Are we now gonna see egg prices move back higher because of the tariffs?

ROLLINS: I'm not gonna sit here and say everything is gonna be perfect and the prices are gonna come down tomorrow because this is an uncertain time, but that is the president's genius in all this ... God bless him.

Earlier this week, I had a very short, very disconcerting Teams meeting.  Shortly after the meeting began, I and the other participant noticed an AI bot show up.  Neither of us were aware we’d invited it, which as you can imagine, was puzzling and more than a little disconcerting to both of us.  Believing discretion is the better part of valor, we both agreed to abandon the meeting, and I did some googling.

We're getting another lesson in the "sometimes tomatos are suspension bridges" vocabulary in contemporary conversation. The language used in the WH tariff announcement completely subverts the word reciprocal. These tariffs aren't "tit for tat" - they're nothing short of punitive.

Today is the day we all learn to spell reciprocal.

Signal is broken? If Signal is broken enough to dial up a journalist every time it sees a jackwad conversation, then I'd support using it for all cabinet-level chats.

How do we not view this plain and simply as a collossal data breach? The release of this information into the wild is exactly equivalent to these organizations having been hacked. The tactics here are unforgivable.

In data modeling, it's common to encounter modeling problems where it's not sufficient to know the data values of an entity right now. You need to be able to know what the values were at a previous point in time. This is most-commonly a data analytics problem, which means this type of model won't be present in native domain tables.

I caught a few minutes of NPR's "Morning Edition" today, and one of their stories started out with a real "words matter" moment. Host Steve Inskeep mentioned Trump's promise to "make America the dominant energy producer in the world by far", and reporter Camila Domonoske launched into her story.
